a lot of people aren't taking them for some reason, maybe they don't like them. maybe they're too hard. >> that's it, have a great weekend, see you back here on monday, special report is next. >> this is a fox news alert, police and the fbi in oklahoma city are trying to find out why a man just fired from a food processing plant beheaded one employee and stabbed another before being shot by a company official. authorities say there may be a connection to radical islam and the recent beheadings by isis terrorists. chief intelligence continue kathleen harris has more. >> reporter: police are investigating the suspect's background and if he was a muss limb convert, whether it played any role in the attack. the moore, oklahoma police department released the 911 call. >> we don't know where the person ran, he went through the

front office, he stabbed a woman in our customer service department. can you hear this in the background? >> is that him, he's back? >> yeah, it sounds like he's running around out here. >> and that's a begin shot. >> that's a gunshot? >> the 30-year-old suspect alton nowlan had been fired from his job at the vaughn food packing plant just before he went on that rampage, beheading 54-year-old colleen up barred. >> he did kill colleen and did sever her head. >> after speaking with nowlan's coe workers, the moore oklahoma police department also confirmed the following, that nowlan had recently tried to convert several employees to islam and gave several statements at the murder scene, the fbi was called in. the local tv station reported tonight that nowlan shouted

islamic phrases but there was no independent confirmation of that fact. and federal employees are saying it's still too early to judge whether self-radicalization or mental illness played a part in this attack. we are getting a look at the price tag for u.s. efforts against isis. but questions remain about what role congress will play and how this will affect presidential and midterm politics. james rosen on the 2016 politics of the syria strikes. doug mcelwain on the role of congress now. ed henry, how much is the war costing to far? >> reporter: at the beginning of the year, chuck hagel defended the president's big defense cuts saying this is the first budget that reflected that we were transitioning out of 13 years of war. now he and general dempsey are saying the hop sit. as the air force released the first images of the f-22 -- the

pentagon is spending $7 million to $10 million a day to battle isis and other militants. and they say president obama's plan to cut defense spending are now likely to change. >> it will not be an easy or brief effort. we are at the beginning, not the end. >> reporter: that warning for american taxpayers came as european allies started putting more skin in the game. belgium offering six f-16 planes to help in iraq only. while the british parliament also voted overwhelmingly to help with air strikes in iraq but not syria. >> this is not the stuff of fant sky, it is happening in front of us and we need to face up to. >> reporter: british leaders say they're acting in iraq because of an invitation from their government and it would be illegal to attack inside syria without permission from presidential assad. >> the constitution says that

only congress may declare war, yet this president has in libya and then this week in syria committed our sons and daughters to a war that is not authorized by congress. >> meanwhile, the economist magazine unveiled a brutal new cover story, suggesting the president has merely morphed into his predecessor george w. bush. the magazine noting that bush made mistakes in foreign policy but now that obama has followed with studio -- seems unwilling to -- >> i think president obama handicapped himself because he said he's the one that ends wars not begins wars and that's one of the reasons why it's skis has been so successful. >> this president has not backed massive ground wars and cited the success of their row counter terror missions in places like yemen, even though that country has fallen apart. >> if it's been so successful,

why are we pulling our embassy personnel out. >> we have been denying the terrorists the kind of safe heaviening. >> we have to get our people out there. >> what we have even in yemen is the effective deployment of a counter terrorism strategy to put continual pressure on extremist groups. >> now as for the iraqi prime minister's claims of a terror plot targeting subways in paris, and various u.s. cities t white house says he was just talking about broad concerns, not a specific plot. >> ed henry, on the north lawn, thank you. let's dig deeper now into the role of congress in all of this. many democrats have been harder on president obama than republicans when -- correspondent doug mcelway with where we are. >> a state of war has existed between the united states and the japanese empire.

>> reporter: december 8, 1941 was the last of 11 times in u.s. history that congress exercised it's constitutional duty to declare war. but in hundreds of other place where is u.s. forces have fought, from the barbary coast, to north korea to iraqi and afghanistan, an often his tanlt congress has tiptoed around an outright declaration of war. the difference between the -- has been and is today the subject of vigorous debate. >> yes, i support the president's decision to strike isis, along with our arab allies. but i do think congress has got to step up and do its duty now. >> the air strikes are effectively not happening in syria, i think it would be better to talk to congress about that. >> reporter: the white house already has constitutional authority. it comes from congress's 2002 authorization for military force in iraq. but even some in president obama's own party believe the authorization is outdated.

>> let's not however make the 9/11 mistake of rushing into an a aumf that has become the overriding authorization for the last 13 years. >> reporter: the hesitancy has left the obama era iraq authorization that it once criticized. >> they somewhere asked them to come in and help them and we are defending them and that's the legal authority that our lawyer -- >> you're working on the cheney document. >> we work under international law and we work under domestic law. >> reporter: both parties worry about damage to midterm election prospects are putting off debate about a new aumf. house speaker john boehner wants to wait longer until a new congress is installed in january. >> the reticence from both ends of pennsylvania a may represent more than fear going on the record for war before the midterm elections. recall that the pentagon has not given names to east ter

syriaorish rack operations, that's unusual. and may reflect the president's own ambivalence over a war he does not want to fight. >> this week's decision by the president to begin attacking isis in syria has taken the new war on terror to another level politically. tonight chief washington correspondent james rosen looks at the potential ramifications. >> if in fact it blows up and the wrong people gain control, it's going to have impact on the entire region causing potentially regional wars. >> reporter: one of many statements vice president biden made about syria during the 2012 campaign and now that that region is indeed embroiled in war, strategists differ on how the ongoing military action may affect the 2016 -- >> if biden runs in 2016, yeah, he's got to carry the obama record with him. and that's just the way that this thing works.

hillary clinton opposed them, she gave them advice, he didn't take it. so i don't think she's going to be hurt much by anything the president does or doesn't, success or failure will not afly to her. >> reporter: yet clinton has her own history on syria to contend with, while she has widely advertised that she urged -- the secretary of state publicly told cbs news in 2012 that she saw no elements within the opposition that were viable enough even to receive arms. >> the other challenge that actually both of them have is that it's showing this disarray in terms of where the democratic opposition is, when you've got the vice president and the ex-secretary of state trying to position themselves if they're trying to look political at all as they're trying to set inthat document, that will not be received well. >> reporter: make him a bigger asset on the campaign trail in this midterm cycle, yet fox news

polls show 59% of registered voters disapprove of his handling of foreign policy. and other surveys show his overall approval ratings hitting new lows even in deep blue states like california and new york. >> it's very hard to say 4 1/2 five weeks out what the impact will be on the election. the closest analogy i can think of is the 1962 campaign during cuban missile crisis when john f. kennedy and the benefits benefit frted from the strong stand. >> for certain we know from statements made by the president himself that the group will still be a problem when voters are choosing his successor. up next presidential hopefuls flock to the values

potential presidential candidates hoping to get the favorite and family vote are in washington this weekend. chief political correspondent carl cameron shows us who's showing up at the values voters summit. >> reporter: the values voters summit less than six weeks before the midterms began with a stem winding teach speech from republican senator ted cruz who's not up for election this year but wants to run for president next year. >> we're standing days away from a pivot election, if you want to defend our free speech or religious liberty, vote harry reid out u. >> conservative potential policy amounts to a war on women. this year's values voters summit amounted to a definal rebuttal. >> the modern democratic party has become an extreme radical party. how do we win? we stand for life. we stand for marriage.

we stand for israel. >> libertarian leading gop rand paul wants the gop to be -- while defending traditionalliia judeo christian values. >> just as we speak to put our financial house in order, so too do we speak to protect the unborn, to end the manipulation of school children and permit the acknowledgement of our supreme being in our classrooms. >> the conservative superpack, americans for prosperity is countering the war on women acts as demeaning. >> i care about real issues, but trying to distract me with this war on women, if you think that's going to gets my vote, you're as dumb as the people making this political ad. >> i'm waging a war on women.

really? think about that for a moment. >> when silence begins to speak volumes. the values voter summit ends tomorrow, the upcoming events includes bobby underal and mike huckabee who won in '08. there's a straw poll tomorrow which last year cruz won. >> the democrats dropped out, now it's pat roberts, republican incumbent against jim orman, but there's also questions about how independent he is, which side of the aisle he would win on if he wins that race. >> it koumtd be a big deal, it could take a way from the republicans ability to get those six seats force the republican majority. and there's not a lot of doubt about where orman will likely fall. he ran as a democrat, he's pro

choice, pro gay marriages, pro comprehensive immigration reform. he's given tens of thousands of donations to democrats. 40 grand to obama and clinton. and the ratio is about 10 to 1 democrats to republicans. he may not be saying which side of the aisle he'll huddle with, but it's a good bet to say he would be voting with republicans. have any of the potential presidential candidates made a big impression on you so far on the republican side? let me know at facebook.com/bet baier, or twitter@brettbaie rerks. still ahead, the easy way may not be the best way when it comes to signing backup for obama care. plus the police chief in ferguson, missouri apologizes, u but it does not go well. as whole grains,real beef,even accents of spinach,carrots and peas.

the administration has announced that people already enrolled in obama care will be automatically renewed in their current plans. jim engel tells us that offers convenience but not without some risk. >> in notion of just sit bang and reenroll is real misleading and i think causes a lot of harm to people. >> reporter: after the disastrous rollout of the obama care website last tag, no wonder the administration wants to reenroll those already signed up in hopes of avoiding another embarrassment. but experts say that blindly reenrolling may be in trouble. >> a lot of people having hey, do you really want to continue on with a plan or do you want manager different? >> the automatic renewal is's si, it will keep people getting obama care, but you have to

these extremists abroad. this is going to be a mission that will take not just months but years. there will be troops on the ground, but they were be iraqi troops, they will be kurdish troops. >> there was something refreshing about that back and forth in parliament. the parliament, the british parliament voting today to allow air strikes to go forward in iraq, not in syria, in iraq, to authorize that. it is an authorization that has not so far happened in either front, iraq or syria, on capitol hill, there are lawmakers on both sides calling for it again. >> the constitution says that only congress may declare war. yet this president has in libya and then this week in syria, committed our sons and daughters to a war that is not authorized by congress. >> i think it's absolutely critical that congress complete the authorization that it began last week when it voted on the arming of moderate elements

syria, as much as i want to get on board, if congress doesn't authorize it, then we should stop what we're doing. okay, david, there are people who say, hey, listen, congress isn't doing it. they should do it on their own. there are people that are saying, the administration isn't pushing congress to do it what's the guiel. >> the administration is relying on the authorization for a use of military force that was brought to bear against al qaeda which the administration has said was basically in it's last throws and apparently it's not. and after the election -- >> that's the key point, after the election. >> after the election because it was not happening before. if it was going to happen before the eelection, it would have been done in september, it would van done this month. number one, the president's afraid he'll lose and this is something he really wants to do in the middle east, unlike last year, he didn't want to go to

syria, he wanted to go do congress where he would see it die. i thi the question is does the administration bring a worded resolution to congress and ask them to vote on a strategy for use of military force? if they don't, there won't be a vote and if he does, there's going to be a huge political debate over the wording of that, whether we have boots available to go on the ground whether we need them or not and things of that nature. >> it was pretty telling that parliament shows to only do air strikes in iraq not syria. >> the president got -- this president backed off the red line and he was left hanging. so there's a reason for that. what's really interesting to me about this authorization question, the president has been telling congress on a regular basis, keeping them informed and telling them that he does have authorization based on the 2001 authorization that went -- sent us to afghanistan, but also just this week, for the first time

formally cited the 2002 iraq rez lug resolution, this is a politician whose career was accelerated by his opposition to iraq, it helped him over the finish line against hillary clinton when we opposed the iraq war. and just a few months ago they wanted to repeal that iraq resolution and now they're relying on that as well as the 2000 resolution for him to transform into a wartime president. pretty interesting. >> look, technically, you can make a case that the resolution to go to war against al qaeda in 2001 would cover this because isis is a descendant of al qaeda, but it isn't as if al qaeda issues membership cards or passports so there's no way to have a straight definition of a country. so you can say this is an element of al qaeda. you can also do it on the basis of the iraq war resolution by

arguing that the border between syria and iraq no longer economist in the real world so any war to defend iraq or to get the bad guys out of iraq, which is authorized in 2002 would necessarily extend into what is now a no man's land. you can do that, but the president, even though he might have the authority to go ahead and act unilaterally, it's constitutionally indecent. >> the two bushes, the one that did the first iraq war and the second iraq war, both tried to preserve the authority of the office saying i don't need the authorization that already exists but they went ahead and got it, that is the constitutionally correct thing to do. obama came up with a strategy, he's asking for the commitment of the nation into a war, the war which he won't even name is the operation, which is really a way of declaring, sort of ambivalent again. he's the one responsible for

bringing the resolution and g getting it done. he shouldn't wait for eelections, he always uses elections for reasons not to do things. >> it's important that president bush did get resolutionings on both those military actions. but the other thing is congress is dropping the ball. they're running scared, they're not pushing hard enough, they're not pushing to stay in town and debate authorization of military use because there's an election. there's the president, but congress bears a lot of responsibility in this. >> the one thing where we give the president a break, it's incumbent on obama to cool to congress and say this is the war i want to fight, now will you approve it? >> as opposed to letting congress have the keys. >> congress does not -- it's not correct to give the president

mi authority to do any number of things. >> there was an exchange at the pentagon today. the kbootings on the ground are going to be the peshmerga, the iraqi forces in iraq and the free syrian army in syria. today our correspondent at the pentagon jennifer griffin was asking the defense secretary about the free syrian army and who's running it. >> first of all, we're in the process of setting up the vetting system for those that we will begin training moderate up discussion syrian fighters. >> who is the head of that operation? >> we don't have a head of it. >> we don't have a head of it. charles, it's been 2 1/2 years since the beginning of this thing? >> it's precisely because it's been 2 1/2 years. it started out with some leadership, some inside syria, some outside syria and it was not led by doctors and pharmacists, it was led mostly by army officers who defected

from the assad regime, capable people, but we let them twist in the wind, obama did for two and a half years. they are now hugely on the defensive, they're being squeezed to death in their. they're scattered, they're disorganized, trying to start at zero where we had a place to start two years ago. >> we're going to let them pick the head of it. >> we step back, keep in mind it's also been more than two years since hillary clinton, leon panetta and david petraeus went to the president and said let's vet and train the free syrian army, and that president said no. >> train and equipping the steerian rebels was a convenient way for the president to say he got a vote and a convenient way for congress to say it did something without actually voting on anything meaningful. that's all that was.

talk to people who actually follow this on capitol hill, a lot of them are really dubious that this is ever going to work. >> the point being, they don't have a head of it, but we're going to rely on them to be the boots on the ground to deal with isis and everything else? >> i think there's a chance because of the kurds in iraq, because of the sunni arabs in iraq who want to join in the fight against al qaeda. the so-called anbar awakening. there's a chance of those troops on the ground actually expel and exceeding in iraq. there's no chance of ze feeting isis in syria. it's a half strategy, but it's about the best we're going to get. up next, the friday lightning round. america's newest real estate brand is all ready the brand of the year. berkshire hathaway home services. good to know.

so-called war on women as a way to summarize their cultural war and for republicans essentially accusing the democrats as they should and they ought to of waging a more on religion. sebelius vs. little sisters of the poor. lawsuit forcing nunns into giving contraception coverage. they ought to highlight that not to say conservatives are imposing religion. all they are asking for is the tolerance of others for religious practice. i think that could be a winning issue. >> at the same time, nina, there is a pew research poll out in the past couple of weeks about religious life and religion and american life. there you see the numbers. completely upside down as far as influence losing or gaining. >> what was interesting about this poll, bret, is that people as they are fearing that religion is losing influence. there is a growing support to see more churches and faith-based groups in

politics, which is an interesting trend. the other thing that you saw in that poll was that people are increasingly thinking this president is unfriendly to religion. they are sort of steady drive towards that. >> i think that if you look at conservative movement, the change for them is in the 80's, 90's, and the first half of the 2000s, they were with the culture war. since the second half of the 2000s the culture war has gone against them. charles makes a good point here, talk to voters in a way that can attract support. you want to focus on religious freedom and focus on a culture of life. old republican language for being pro-life on the issue of abortion. they have to dial down their public opposition that the sort of i have vitriol that they approach the same sex marriage with. they can continue to oppose it, but they have to be more welcoming to people who support same sex marriage. >> all right, quickly, down the row on kansas.

incumbent facing a very formidable challenge on greg orman, the end. there is this debate where he would caucus gregorman. >> he might be too cute here. he says if one party is firmly quote unquote in control of the senate, i will caucus with them. he said if it's unclear, then who knows what i dual. >> up for grabs. >> that will only go so far because eventually voters will think that you are trying to play games with them and that doesn't hurt the independent authenticity i'm not a politician like the other guy. he has got to watch that. >> he has democratic files. he has filed as a democrat. given money to democrats. interesting little play this week where the tea party candidate who ran against pat roberts suggested endorsing him possibly or that was the news account. >> meeting fell off. >> then the meeting fell off and it didn't happen. who knows. it's definitely the race to watch.

>> winners and losers. >> my winner is major miriam, the pilot leading the uea contingent over syria. little bit less great in arabia where there has been some groaning of service women ought to the not to be be piloting aircraft. to the point that the ua ambassador had to deny opposing her. loser of the week is israel. lost twice in one speech by the president of the u.n. number one, he singled it out as the cause of the lack of progress on peace, which is astonishing after the gaza war. and, secondly, gave the weakest statement ever on iran saying iran will decide whether it wants to go nuclear or not. i kind of hope it does, which is if you are an israeli, that means you don't sleep well at night. >> i loved charles' winner. that was a good one. my winner would be america's big banks with the

resignation of attorney general eric holder. depending on the successor, of course, holder is considered among banks as a shakedown artist. he has gone after them for 10s of billions of dollars. they feel like they were basically a gun put to their head and they had to pay this to keep peace with shareholders and consumers and move on. my loser of the week would be john boehner because, again, i think this was a time when you -- congress should be stepping up to the plate and should have a voice in military action in the middle east. >> i'm going to play a little small ball here compared to my colleagues. winner, cory guardner running for senate out in colorado. the polls are looking good for him especially like a strong candidate like mark udall, came out with a great ad, cousins, late father being in politics, very effective stuff. my loser for people who think congress is the most hapless organization in washington. i present to you the washington redskins lost twice in a week. looked worse thursday than they did sunday.
